ECG-kit

This toolbox is a collection of Matlab tools that Mariano Llamedo Soria used, adapted or developed during his PhD and post-doc work with the Besicos group at University of Zaragoza, Spain and at the National Technological University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The toolbox also includes scripts for inspecting, correcting and reporting results from these algorithms.

Scheme of the classes involved in the several tasks implemented in the ecg-kit toolbox.

ECG-kit has a common application programmer interface (API) implemented in Matlab under Windows, Linux or Mac. The kit also implements a recording interface that allows processing several ECG formats, such as MIT, ISHNE, HES, Mortara, and AHA, of arbitrary recording size. (The record so far is a one-week recording of 3 leads, sampled at 500 Hz).

A report of the mitdb/208 recording created with the ecg-kit toolbox. The
QRS detections created with several algorithms are shown in different
colours (vertical dotted lines ended with triangles). In addition, the ecg
delineation is represented as coloured boxes superimposed to the signal.
Finally the heartbeat classification is printed above each heartbeat.

Many thanks to Andrés Demski from UTN who helped to this project before he learned how to use it. Thanks also to all the friends in Zaragoza, Porto and Lund, and especially to the ones closest to the project:

Pablo Laguna, Juan Pablo Martínez, Rute Almeida and Juan Bolea, for the wavedet ECG delineator and many parts of the Biosig browser project that were adapted to this project.

Jesús Lázaro and Eduardo Gil for the PPG/ABP pulse detection code.

We also acknowledge all those listed below, who were important in many ways to the fulfilment of this project:

George Moody, Wei Zong, Ikaro Silva, for all the software of Physionet
